The Colorado Springs Airport reports an increase of passengers flying out of the Springs. In April more than 67 thousand people flew out of the Springs airport. That represents a 15% increase compared to 2019. The number of seats available is up better than 67% due to additional capacity and more airlines now flying out of Colorado Springs. Officials say they expect to see a sharp increase in passenger traffic this summer, beginning with the Memorial Day weekend. This summer officials say there will be 40 daily flights out of the Springs airport.
